Red Gate Software - Another freeware app goes payware.
Renegade:
WinZip did the same thing. It's not uncommon for "free" promises to be shattered by the harsh reality of business.
It sucks, but there's no sense in crying over it. Bad things happen.

WinZip was born shareware. You had a WinRar-like trial period (ie, your app expired, but you can still use it). You always knew you had to pay for WinZip.

My bad -- I meant the free forever to paid upgrades. Same type of deal with the promise breaking.
